There is a NRC postdoc opportunity at US EPA. Contact Ahjond Garmestani
([email protected]) with questions.
Safe and Healthy Communities is a program at US EPA, which suggests an
approach to environmental management that protects human health while
incorporating what is valued most about our natural resources. Within
this framework, sustainability research involves advancing the field of
resilience science by exploring the interdependence of human and natural
systems to inform community planning. Our research integrates ecological
and social perspectives to devise management approaches to address
environmental change. The project will assess resilience in social-
ecological systems.
National Risk Management Research Laboratory’s Sustainable Technology
Division uses a multidisciplinary approach, which employs ecologists,
economists, engineers, environmental scientists, physical and social
scientists, to address sustainability issues in regional environmental
management. Together with other team members, the Associate will produce
studies on ecological and social indicators of resilience for
environmental management and sustainability. The Associate is expected
to conduct quantitative and qualitative research on resilience and
create peer-reviewed publications. The ideal candidate is a Ph.D.
ecologist with strong quantitative skills and a focus on resilience,
social-ecological systems, and environmental management.
